Thank you for writing us.
You will only be able to play DVD's coded "region 1" or "region ALL" coded in the NTSC format on the
North American PLAYSTATION(R)3 computer entertainment system. Blu-ray Discs(TM) (BD) that are
marked with the "region A" will be supported.
*When playing PLAYSTATION(R)3 format software, a display/monitor that supports video playback at
60Hz is required. (Please contact the manufacturer of your display for video playback support.)
In addition, the North American PLAYSTATION 3 system only supports a power supply of 120V AC, 60 Hz.
Lastly, due to different television and voltage standards, and a variety of licensing issues, Sony
Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) has implemented a territorial-based distribution system for its
hardware, peripherals, and software. This limits the use of any particular software to play on the
console designated for that distribution territory (e.g. North American games will not play in the
systems designed for other regions, such as, Japan, Europe, etc.). You may also experience problems
if you attempt to use memory sticks, controllers, etc. from a different region (outside of North
America) on your North American console.
In addition, we would not recommend traveling with your North American PLAYSTATION 3 system outside
of North America. Due to a difference in international television and voltage standards, North
American PLAYSTATION 3 systems may not be compatible for use outside of North America.
We do not have any information on adapters or converters made to override territorial restrictions.
The various PlayStation(R) consoles and format software titles are only designed to run in their
respective regions and countries. We apologize for any inconvenience.
If you have further questions regarding this message, please refer to your email case
number:5204282.
